The Secret of q Strike.


The secret of the great strikes and theis
1amentable failures is simple enough, and hero
it IS: Under the inspiration of few soulless
and inflated wrerches, such have got control
of the Knights of Labor, an association of en-
ployes meet and are told that they must strike
The reasons vary. bur they often trivial
and, perhaps. unjustifabls or fallacious But
that doesn't make any difference to the labor
bosses. They are enough to iniame the spirits
of their unfortunate dupes to the poIpt desired.
Other infiammatory and stimulating arguments,
also mostly lies are heaped before them. They
are told that there is enormous fund of money
to carry them through the struggle. Loud ap-
plause telegram is read, saying that thG
men at the other end of the line will eat
their boots before they give up. Great
enthusiasm. The whole district is said to be
unanimous and hot for a general revolt and no
surrender is the watchword. Frantic cheering
All the surrounding labor organizations are
with them heart and soul, and ready stand
by them, if the struggle should assume such
proportions, to their last dollar. Sensation.
And SO on till the bosses tongues tire of lies and
their Imagination fails to invent new incentives,
and the assembly adjourns in jubilation at
the prospect of putting these great imaginary
forces in motion to crush their so-caled enemies.
All this is the work of the most heartless SET
of unprinc piled impostors that have appeared ir
me de I'm times. And when such knaves
driven from influence in the ranks of organized
laborers. the Fl rst and most indispensable ster
in progress from the present state of decay and
dissatisfaction will have been accomplished.

The Charges against Gould and Sage.

New YORK, Dec. 30.-District Attorney Mar
tine to-day filed the following memorandum in
the matte. of the charges made against Jay
Gould and Russell Sage, by the bondholders of
the Kansas Pacific Railroad:
This is application to present to the grand jury
charge of larceny against Jay Gould and Russell
Sage under Section 81 of the penal code In my
opinion the acts, with the commission of which tho
defendants stand charged constitute crime. A
possible obstacle successful prosecution of the
persons complained of is the of limitations
Yet there strong for believing that this
obstacle is not insurTnountable The statute under
which it is sought to prosecute may be construed
to enable the people to proceed, Notwithstanding
the statute of limitations, ard such construction
would have much support in and common
The question is close and the interests in
voved here well of the people of the defendants
so important, that it seems proper to leave the
determination of this question of law to the courts,
and in order effect this result the facts should be
laid before the grand jury, and proven, indict-
ment found and tried.
